About Families USA

Families USA works hard to achieve high-quality, comprehensive, and affordable health care for all Americans.

We deserve a health care system that works for everyone.

Since the passage of the Affordable Care Act, our country has made great strides in making health coverage affordable, comprehensive, and available to those who need it—including individuals and working families who were vulnerable to gaps in the health care system.

And now, Americans are beginning to enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing that comprehensive, affordable health coverage is there when they need it.

Americans need to get covered, and that health coverage needs to be high-quality.

While the Affordable Care Act is a huge step forward in making access to health care a reality, Families USA is working hard to ensure that all Americans enroll and that their health coverage is high-quality.

A healthy economy demands a healthy workforce.

We are also striving to foster a health care system that is affordable and sustainable so that our economy is strong and competitive, with a healthy and productive workforce. And so that Americans get high value for their hard-earned health care dollars.

By seeking to protect people who have Medicare and engaging with states to expand Medicaid, we champion the preservation and improvement of health insurance programs that provide coverage to those who need it the most—the young, those with disabilities, the elderly, and the economically disadvantaged.

We also provide guidance and technical assistance to states to ensure that the way they manage their health systems meets best practices for delivering high-quality care that is cost-effective and benefits patients.

Through this work, Families USA is making health care better for all of us.
